For this fix to work you must use the RIGHT firmware, if you copy the blog post exactly you will get the firmware for the 5,2. If you don't have a 5,2 then it won't work.
You need to find the LATEST firmware for YOUR Macbook. For example, if you have a MBP 5,5 then I would EXPECT that you should try downloading the following firmware update package: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBook_Pro_EFI_Firmware_Update_1_7_ In there there are two firmware files, for a 5,5 you want MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update.app/Contents/Resources/MBP55_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap NOTE: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS, TRY AT OWN RISK as I do not have my Macbook right now. If you follow the procedure in the blog post here: http://pubmem.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/flash-efi-firmware-update-manually-on-a-macbook-51/ but using this firmware file instead then I think things should work :) Good luck, Who -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774089 Title: Booting fails 3 times, works every fourth time after new install of Natty Narwhal amd64 on Macbook Pro -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
